Marcelo Bielsa

[CielosGrises]

Can't see him keeping us up - obviously if we are in the Championship we should be happy to have him - given up already ?

 

[Drico]

Could not give a hoot if a manager is a socialist, communist, Tory, or an anarchist, as long as they do the job.

Anyone who does is weird.

I’d agree with you, but I would extend that to not giving a hoot if they have had some connection with Liverpool FC.

 

[Gilbert..]

I'm still of the mind that this will end in disaster, but a few benefits that Bielsa would bring and Dyche would not:

1. He's hugely respected and would attract players from around the world, even to the Championship if the worst happened.
2. The standards he would set would give us a good platform for the future - even if he only stayed for 2/3 seasons.
3. We'd have a manager with a philosophy and clear identity for the first time in ages.

Someone who might know more about french football might be more qualified to answer this. But when he took over at lille i read he showed 12 or 13 players the door immediately and replaced them with younger pacey players. Lille won the french title two years later(not under him)
But did he start that.

As long as they do the job!

Might be true but just sounds like complete guesswork

 

[willo30]

Come all that way just to tell us to do one.

I like him.

Thats what I think. Arrived after a long flight yesterday, and has already said no to the job. Could have just said that on the phone and not wasted his time.

Would just like to add that whilst I’m not scouse this part is wildly irrelevant and has no place on this part of the forum.

What absolute horsesh!T - the values of our manager are a key part of his make-up. Just as if he had a history of racial or homophobic abuse he'd be dead to us. A Tory 'me-first' attitude is unacceptable at this club.

Give up on our values then give up on our club.

Before their drop off the proverbial cliff under Bielsa, Leeds turnaround from championship plodders to winning the league at a canter was impressive. Even when they got to the premiere league, their clear identity as an attacking high energy team was great to watch. We might not have the players to meet 'peak Bielsa' at the moment, but he will certainly give them a clear identity, instead of the meh bland nothingness that we have seen so far this season.

Looks like he's turned it down

You’re not even a scouser you numpty.

 

[GoldenToffee]

Claiming he is interested but not until July because we're too slow? Not buying that. He should have £50m available to him over the next 5 days to bring in 2-3 fast players to go alongside Iwobi and Gray who can play with pace. You don't need 11 speed merchants in the side, 4 or 5 are more than enough if the rest of the team is solid.

 

[NorthernBlue]

I’ll be gutted if true. Dyche ain’t keeping us up then we’ll likely be stuck with him. Can’t believe we have fans advocating Dyche. Last season everyone was glad to get rid of him and his Burnley team due to style of football they played. It was grim. Now we welcome him. Horrendous. We get what we deserve.

You know nothing. Literally.
